    I bought 4 boxes of Whiskas Senior pouches in Tesco yesterday afternoon but they went through the till as the 4 for £10 I was expecting.

    Sorry to be the bearer of bad news :o maybe the glitch doesn't work on the senior pouches or is store specific.

    not working online, so chances are this is not nationwide (they pick the items from my local; so all glitches show up online for me).

    thanks op for the heads up though!

    Noticed this by accident this morning in my local Portland store.
    12 packs of Whiskas are on offer at 4 for £10, but at the till an additional £6 discount is applied, making the 4 boxes £4.
    I only tried this with the jelly variety.
    Strangely, the additional £6 discount is described as fruit juice!
    Not sure if this is store specific or not.
    Reciept below -

    Might be worth posting the barcodes so someone can try the exact same combination at another store.

    :)

    Just a thought notice the Portland Tesco is not an Extra, Express or Metro, just a normal superstore. Has anyone tried a "normal" Tesco? I can remember that some glitches in the past have been store type specific.

    I tried once with 4 x Jelly's and it didnt work.

    Went back in again and tried once more with a different combination but again it didnt work either then.

    Could OP post the specific flavours and barcodes of all the boxes you bought?. I suspect the glitch may be specific to the combination of flavours you bought?, or it may just be store specific :(
